Mayweather Charged with Battery in Face Poking Incident

*Floyd Mayweather has been charged with criminal battery in Nevada for allegedly poking a man in the cheekbone with his finger, TMZ reports.

According to the criminal complaint, police claim a private security officer named Shayne Smith told officers Mayweather became irate outside of his Las Vegas home on Nov. 15 after Smith placed parking citations on two of Floyd’s cars.

According to the documents, Smith alleges Mayweather screamed that the guard had “no f*cking business” touching his personal property — before the boxer grabbed a citation from one of his cars and slapped it on Smith’s patrol vehicle.

The document continues, “While lambasting Smith, Mayweather was allegedly jabbing his finger into the left side of Smith’s cheek just below his eye. This willful and unlawful use of force and violence upon Smith caused redness and discoloration to the area which was battered by Mayweather.”

Smith claims he drove out of the area to “de-escalate” the situation, immediately notified his boss … and then took photos of his bruised up cheek.
